Sign out and back in, or just wait. Sony changed something so the games don't appear on it instantly anymore.
Most DL versions of games have nothing in common with the disc-based counterparts (hell, even saved data from disc games sometimes doesn't work on the DL version. Dead Space 3 comes to mind). I'd delete the game data from the disc version. With the DL version, I'm pretty sure the 22GB will be it. Nothing additional is installed since it's running straight from the HDD.

lol, that's one of the one's I just won't do anymore.
Having a great time with Rogue Legacy so far. About 5 hours in since yesterday. Skills are starting to get expensive, so hopefully I'll be getting gud sometime soon. Between this, BoI, and The Swapper, PS+ has been absolutely worth it so far.
Funny how some of the games end up getting overshadowed and I forget I have the, speaking of which:
(talking about Kick & Fennick)
Yeah, I'm gonna have to remember to check this out.
I'm not usually a platformer kind of guy but I tried the game and it's really fun. It feels a bit mobileish due to the way the touchpad is used for menus but I don't know how it would work on a purely mobile device.
It's certainly worth trying out to see if you like it. I am enjoying my time at the moment.
This game makes me hate Vita's sticks. So small and imprecise =( Fun game, by the way. Halfway through chapter 2 right now, pretty engaging to play so far. Hopefully there will be more environmental variety, though.

So Rogue Legacy. I love games like this. I was all hyped to run through the game, and instantly had my expectations stunted. Got the 20 deaths achievement in maybe 20 mins... I can't use analogue stick for movement, as I think the d-pad is tighter for the downward air attack. Just wish you cold dash through people, but I suppose that would make the game a lot easier. So I died and died and died, prob more than 50 times, but just like OlliOlli, there was a moment when the game sorta clicked, and I made a decent attempt at the first boss.
Gonna give it another attempt tonight.

I don't like rouge legacy. its a doodoo game, I like spelunky better. All that happens in RL is i die nonstop, i don't even feel like im making any progress. Yakuza 4 though is mad dope.
Man, this month made me remember how great Rogue Legacy is. I picked it up on PC and played it hard for about two weeks, but I'm on a laptop and tend to drift in and out of PC gaming, especially controller-driven ones. But having this now on PS3 and Vita with cross-save is goddamned heaven. I'd forgotten how great the controls feel once you get those dash and extra-jump runes - all the old timings are coming back to my muscle memory. So, so good.
And now I finally get to try a Yakuza game! I'd flirted with picking up 3 and/or 4 off and on for years. Now I have no excuse. PS+ is amazeballs.

Yakuza 4 won't install. I downloaded it twice today and whenever I go to install it, it says error occurred during the installation. Anyone else have this problem?
There's definitely something weird with it, it installed for over an hour for me
Can't help with your problem though, sorry
How much empty space does your hard disk have?
How much time did you give it? Not that your opinion is invalid, just wondering.

There have always been problems with bigger files like GTA V, and Yakuza 4 belongs to them. What helps most of the time is to not download it in the background, just let the console sit there in the store until it's finished.
About an hour, it's not a bad game but I found the graphical style to be somewhat ugly and boring and the general mechanics was a bit meh. It just didn't click with me like Shovel Knight did.
Apotheon is great. Didn't expect anything and was positively suprised. I like those 2D platformer that are going back to the roots. Visual it looks amazing and the game has many puzzles with huge maps to explore. You can even craft some stuff. Very addictive so far. Only letdown: No Vita version ;(
This. I've got, like, over 120 Vita/PSP/PS1 games, but I need my monthly fix. Suikoden I,II and Kick & Fennick will have to do for now.
On a side note: It's amazing to see what indie devs have done to the gaming industry. So many games with so much creativity, great gameplay, great stories... Just look at Apotheon and Kick & Fennick. This is fucking art.

I'm a little disappointed in it. I will give it a little more time but it just seemed empty. I really love the art style though.

Best PS+ month in a long time. It's about time Sony. Good job. Especially nice considering how poor GWG is this month.

Only got round to downloading this months stuff this morning so I played Apotheon for about 30 minutes and got to the part where you are called to go fight the first boss after finishing the missions about the area. Seems good so far, visuals are really nice and I like the variations in weapons you get.
Also started Rogue legacy on Vita during my commute and lunch break, ranked lv 24 now. Really enjoying it so far, was doing pretty crappy at first but I have been levelling away and had one run where I collected around 2k so was pretty happy about that. I have encountered the first boss (Big eye) about 3 times recently but its a damn bastard and I havent been able to beat it yet. Looking forward to continuing with the game.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I played this on my PC quite a bit, with a 360 controller and never once complained about the controls.
The analog stick on the PS4 is horrible in this game.. that and I kept having weird lag with inputs.. sometimes stuck in movements.. was weird.. but the down thrust on the analog is horrible.. I can't get it to not drift to the side.
I hate using d-pads these days.. prefer analog.. but I think it has more to do with shit placement of the analog compared to the Xbox controllers.. yes.. team Xbox.. the PS4 is better than the PS3.. but the analog still sucks balls for 2D.. it's in the wrong spot.
Same thing, except it showed Apatheon logo. I did the download through the online site though.. did you? Didn't bother rebooting to see if it fixed itself.

I have that as well. Downloaded from the PSN store. I'll try to rebuild the database.
EDIT: Yeah, rebuilding database worked.

Is Rogue Legacy NOT supposed to be full screen on the PS4?!?
Can't find a setting to fix it.

Try adjusting your screen settings on the PS4.

Yeah, just figured it out.. it used the PS4 setting not in game setting.. my son must have adjusted it to the bedroom TV earlier today.. It was just way underscanned.

Finally got Yakuza 4 downloaded and I've played it for a bit. I played the first Yakuza game, and probably about 2/3s of the second. Never played the 3rd. But so far I'm really like the 4th game. Still just on the first character but I like him a lot better than Kazuma, at least going by my memories. If things keep up I'll probably get 5 when they release it, assuming I can fit it on my hard drive.
ohhh noooooo
This made me laugh so much harder than it should have.

Apotheon reminds me of Outland, except less pretty, and without tight platforming and combat. very disappointed with it so far.
I almost feel guilty getting Rogue Legacy as part of this. I've had so much fun playing it on Vita while watching whatever on Netflix. Don't even care about progressing yet, just grinding for gold to unlock more and more stuff.
This game is really, really good. Anything else I get is just a bonus from this month's offerings.

Ugh. I made a lot of progress in Transistor. Then, immediately after completing a challenge in a backdoor shortly after the (probably mid-game?)
boss battle, the game crashes to menu, where I find out in short order that (1) the crash occurred during an auto-save, corrupting my save data, and (2) for some reason my save data had not been uploading to cloud storage, even though I have the game set to auto-upload and have plenty of storage still available. I was enjoying the game but I really don't know if I want to spend several hours repeating all the areas I've already played through just to get back to this point.
In situations like this where a crash during autosave can completely obliterate the save file, I really wish Supergiant had gone with something a bit less prone to this particular problem, e.g. a three-file rolling autosave. But I realize this sort of thing is probably relatively rare, and if my backups had actually been working I would probably have lost less than an hour of progress.
Luckily for me, I'm really excited to try Apotheon and Rogue Legacy (and would also be excited for Yakuza 4 if I hadn't already played it - even so, I may play it again just for kicks).

The weirdest thing...
I got Transistor and Rogue Legacy at the same time, and for some reason Rogue had the same icon art as Transistor. The game worked fine so it didn't really mean much to me. But as I was playing I started to notice the trophies had weird names. Turns out I'm somehow unlocking trophies for Transistor by playing Rogue. I'm 30% complete and I haven't even played the game yet. How does something like that even happen?
